This study looks closely at how law schools in North American have transitioned to online legal education, querying law school faculty and staff about the kinds of programs and applications that they are using, how much of and how valuable is the help that they have received from their institutions, and how they view online legal education in light of their new experience. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how are faculty keeping in touch with students? How helpful have the law library, IT department and various other departments been in helping faculty to teach online? What has been the role of the course management system? Zoom? Skype? WebEx? How satisfied are faculty with the help that they have received?
